Here we go again!
After a summer of fiery Town Hall meetings, your elected officials in the House have unveiled a new 1990 page plan for government to take over your healthcare. It’s nice to know they have absolutely no interest in your opinion huh? The Congressional Budget Office has set the price for this mess at $1.055 Trillion, but wait, that’s not all! This figure does not include a $245 Billion provision to prevent Medicare payments to Doctors from dropping. Oh, and by the way, this Bill contains $572 Billion in tax increases! Heard enough yet, sorry but there’s more. This Bill contains $426 Billion in cuts to existing programs including the very popular Medicare Advantage Program. You read that right, cuts to existing programs! I thought this wouldn’t reduce benefits or lead to rationing? So let me get this straight, we’re going to spend over $1 Trillion to raise taxes and reduce coverage? Why would we want to do that? Oh, I forgot, we have to cover those 36 million uninsured Americans. Yea right, how many illegals are they including in that number?
Here’s the bottom line: Redistribution of wealth. Michelle Obama told us in no uncertain terms that some would have to give up their piece of the pie so others could have some – so cough up that pie buddy! They are reducing coverage for those who have actually paid into the system to cover those who have not. They are raising taxes and healthcare costs for those who have been responsible to give freebies to those who have not. Does this sound like America to you?
Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

Washing ‘Pop Rocks’ down with Coke.
When you hear someone say that 9-11 was an inside job, what opinion do you form of them? When someone claims the moon landing was a hoax, do you take anything they say seriously? When you make a statement about the Obama Administration, how will you be viewed? I was listening to my favorite morning radio show (Ralph Bristol) when a crackpot called in claiming the Administration’s declaration of the H1N1 ‘pandemic’ as a National Emergency suspended certain portions of the Constitution. Please, people get a life! Now understand I wouldn’t be surprised if the Administration did suspend the Constitution, but the fact is they have not – they have trampled it but not suspended it. The host reprimanded the caller appropriately, but people please understand this garbage makes us all look like idiots. There are plenty of ‘news sources’ out there that twist or misstate a story for shock value – this is not helpful to the movement. We don’t want to use National Enquirer type sources as the basis for our argument, so please be careful what you repeat. We have enough legitimate grievances with this Administration; we do not need to drum up, support, or repeat untrue or unproven claims. There is plenty of scary stuff coming out of Washington everyday to keep us busy, we don’t need to waste our time running around trying to prove or disprove some lame-brained conspiracy theories. We are all guilty of occasionally relying on information passed on from others, so please, please, please – do some homework before spreading these things around. The ‘Down Stream Media’ is desperate to discredit us, don’t give them ammo to shoot us down with. We are in the fight of our lives here folks, when we take on Left we must make sure all our arguments are grounded in facts. Be careful when you wash ‘Pop Rocks’ down with Coke, and be careful what you repeat.

For Obamacare – the time is growing short.
I have to admit that I’m a bit surprised that Harry Reid is risking not passing ‘Healthcare Reform’ by adding the “Public Option” to the Senate Bill. This government ‘option’ has been unpopular with many moderate Dems in Congress and will undoubtedly face a great deal of opposition. Don’t be fooled - this Public Option, Consumer Option, Competitive Option, or whatever they choose to call it today; is nothing more than a government take over. Now, Harry has said the Bill might include an ‘Opt Out’ for States which do not wish to participate; yea right. You don’t think they would pressure or even threaten to withhold Federal Funds for those States that choose to ‘Opt Out’ do you? The fact is, even if it did include such a clause the citizens of that State would still be taxed to pay for it. I guess it really comes down to whether you trust these people or not, I for one do not.
The countdown is on my friends and we must be more diligent and involved than ever before. With only 9 weeks left for them to pass this garbage you can count on a full-court press by the Liberal Left. I won’t lecture you on what to do next; we’ve covered all that before, but stay alert and ready to roll if they do try to bring this socialist trash to the floor. We’ve come this far, let finish the drive.

Barack Obama – The Tiger Woods wannabe.
Oh my, my; Obama sure is keeping busy these days! Boy he’s out there just working his little socialist tail off isn’t he? That $787 Billion dollars is really ‘jolting the economy’ back into shape! Oh, and the whole world loves us again now that that evil Bush guy is gone! The stars are shining, the homeless are housed, the hungry are fed, the pollution is gone, the planets have aligned, cars run on water, the entire world is living in peace, and everyone wins the Lottery everyday. Yea, right! Despite all the hype from Obama’s propaganda machine, what has this guy accomplished besides burying us in red ink? Well, he has been on Letterman, taken some nice vacations and played golf, apparently a lot of golf. Remember how Bush was relentlessly slammed for playing golf? Well, news flash – according to a recent report Obama has played more golf in 9 months than Bush did in 2 ½ years! Now let me make myself clear – I don’t care if the guy plays golf every single day, but let’s be fair here folks; where is the criticism from the Media? Obama is out working on his short game while soldiers in Afghanistan are still waiting for reinforcements. Obama is out putting with friends while thousands more Americans lose their jobs every week. Oil prices are rising, the dollar is falling, and we’re kissing the feet of our enemies, But BO has lots of time for vacation! So how’s that Hope & Change working out for you?

Time for the media to eat some crow.
Oh how often we’ve heard it; Tea Parties are just Astroturf – protestors organized and paid by the Republican Party. Well guess what, the Tea Party groups are opposing a GOP candidate in the NY District 23 special election. Yes, opposing a GOP candidate that is leading in the polls, but why would they do that and why isn’t the media covering that? Because, regardless of what ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC and other mouth pieces for the White House have told you, Tea Parties are not about party. The Republican candidate in this race is not a conservative; she has ‘alleged’ ties with ACORN and her husband is a Union Leader – sound conservative to you? Now let me be clear, I have met Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, and Independents who are involved in the movement, but I have never met a Liberal who is. This movement is about Conservatism, not the letter next to the Candidates name. This is about Conservative values and policy of smaller government, lower taxes, more freedom and personal responsibility vs. the Liberal ‘everyone’s a victim and must be taken care of’ philosophy. Republicans will be the natural choice for most conservatives, however many of these so-called Republicans are no better than the Liberals and will find no friends here.
The media will continue their relentless campaign to discredit anyone who opposes this Regime. They attack us because they fear us. They have called us radicals, racists, terrorists, and just down right Un-American. The more they attack us, the more they show their bias and desperation. They want and need to shut you up – they want to silence all dissent and keep you in ignorance. The weak-minded sheep need the government to take care of them and will always support those who promise them more handouts. These sheep are content in their ignorance and submission to big brother, but how about you? Will you reject the propaganda and government control over your life? Do you believe in the Constitution and the principles of our Founding Fathers or the radical agenda of the Left? Will you take the Red pill or the Blue one?
Stand up today and say ENOUGH! Add your voice to the chorus of millions demanding to be heard. What will it take, how far will it go, before you get involved?

Pay Czar – By what authority?
The Obama Administration must have a different version of the Constitution that I’m not aware of. The Pay Czar, a very powerful official apparently, will now set the pay for Executives at Companies who received bailout funds from the government. This of course will gather lots of praise from the left wingers who like to think it’s unfair for anyone (except Oprah) to make more money than they do. This move will do little to improve the financial picture of these companies, but may have a major impact on their management team. If you walked into work today and were greeted with the news that your pay was being cut by 90% what would you do? Would you just take it in stride and go about the business of growing the company, or would you start sending out resumes? I would be back in my car in about 30 seconds.
Now, someone please explain to me how the Administration thinks it has this power? When they accepted bailout funds, did these Executives sign an agreement giving up all authority to run their companies? Did Congress pass a retroactive Amendment to the Constitution and just forgot to tell us? If this Administration is allowed to continue trampling the Constitution, where will it end?
Candidate Obama relentlessly slammed the Bush Administration for the bank bailouts, yet TARP was passed by a Congress controlled by Democrats. I agree that TARP was a bad idea, but if the Dems really thought it was a bad idea, why do they continue to use it to bailout failing companies? This is all about control. The government, in its stunning arrogance, thinks it can run companies better than private individuals. These clowns in the White House somehow feel it’s within their power to base Executive pay on the performance of the company they work for. Oddly enough the Administration stated just yesterday that GM had the worst financials they had ever seen; really – did they have a $1.42 Trillion deficit? Maybe we should pay the President and Congress based on the performance of the government!

Don’t like what I say? TOUGH!
Let me be clear, for the moment, this is still America. Living in a free America means you still have the freedom to go, stay, live, watch, ignore, read, believe or not believe anyone or anything, and speak your mind anywhere you choose. So take notice; if you don’t like what I say – delete it! Better yet, here’s a suggestion, reply to me with those ‘chilling’ words – “remove me!” I thought I made this clear to everyone, repeatedly! Despite repeated claims; I am not a paid political operative, I am not receiving funds from the GOP, nor am I a member of some fringe militant organization burying large amounts of ammunition underground. I am simply an American. I am an American with every right and reason to be angry with my government and if you don’t like it – TOUGH! I am an unapologetic conservative and if you don’t like it – leave.
News flash: if you voted for this low life America-hating Communist who temporarily resides in the White House – you deserve the criticism you get – so deal with it! These same pathetic sheep that swallowed the Obama hype, these same Kool-Aid drinking self-righteous ‘progressives’ that portrayed Bush as Hitler and Cheney as Darth Vader now want to have a civil debate! They can dish it out, but they can’t take it. I try to respond to every email on every issue, but I’m sorry – you liberal whiners have more than tried my patience with your calls for “tolerance of your ideas.” Get the picture; I’ll buy into your BS socialist drivel right after I get a lobotomy! Please do the world a favor and turn off your computer; go back to Oprah, The View, and Dancing with the Stars - go back to your pathetic useless little lives and wait for the government to save you.
Conservatism built this great nation, and true conservatism will now save it. We are right and we will not back down from our principles; as support for your president dwindles - our numbers are growing exponentially. Face it Obama boy; the humiliating defeat you face in 2010 will make you pine for the days of 1994. You will soon look back wistfully at the days when Obama almost succeeded in turning America into a Communist nation.
If you’re not part of the solution, then you are the problem!
Like what you see – pass it on.
Don’t like it – don’t read it!
I have spoken.

She spilled the beans!
US Representative Maxine Waters, Democrat from CA, will never be mistaken for a conservative or as an adult for that matter. This little commie has long been a blight on American politics and is a driving force for Obama’s socialist agenda. This self proclaimed liberal has long been an enemy of free enterprise so it’s really no surprise that a video of her true nature has finally surfaced. This video was shot prior to the 2008 election, at a time when we were trying to warn people of the left’s socialist agenda and were blasted for such statements. In the (Video) Maxine let’s her mouth get ahead of her brain and admits she would like to socialize the oil companies. She states to Oil Company executives that she envisions the government taking over and ‘running their companies.’ OK, you may say “So what?” Well, the government has already taken over GM, Chrysler, Financial Institutions, and others, and now they are apparently after Healthcare and Energy though the passage of Obamacare and Cap & Trade. How many times have they claimed they do not want to control these companies? News flash: they lie! She knew she screwed up when she said the word socialize and stumbled on her words, but then went on to state the same thing in different words. Here’s the lesson folks – liberals lie, and lie, and lie. They will do and say whatever necessary to force socialism down the throats of the American people. Wake up people, how much more proof do you need?

Healthcare reform or not - it’s up to the Dems.
The Senate Finance Committee has now released its boondoggle of a Healthcare Bill. These 1502 pages of socialist drivel, churned out behind closed doors, have yet to be read by anyone. The Bill is now available online but before you settle in for the long boring read let me first remind you that this is only one of many Bills and it will change. Several Senate Committees have their own versions of the Bill as well as the House versions; these must all be reconciled before they come to the floor for a vote. So why is it taking Congress so long to pass that Healthcare Reform that Obama promised? The Democrats have controlled both Houses since 2006 and now hold a Super Majority right? Remember Nancy Pelosi promised swift action across the board now that “the adults are in charge.” Well, the fact is, the Democrats can pass anything they want to with Republicans unable to stop them. So why haven’t they? Well, some Democrats such as the ‘Blue Dogs’ are concerned about the financial cost as well as the political price they will pay at home; their experiences at the Town Hall meetings have forced them to move cautiously. Some Democrats are unhappy that the Bill just doesn’t go far enough and are simply trying to out liberal the next guy. These ultra left wing Dems are refusing to support any Bill that doesn’t include a public option or even a complete government takeover. Take all this bickering and infighting and wrap it into a 2-3 day work week and this is what you get - gridlock. “The adults” that Nancy bragged about have complete control of this government yet they accomplish nothing. They can complain and point fingers all they like, but they ultimately have no one to blame but themselves. This state of paralysis, this inability to utilize their majority, will inevitably lead to their demise. The 2010 election is now only 377 days away and the election season officially starts in a mere 2 ½ months; the longer these Bills go without a vote, the less likely it becomes that they ever will. Controversial legislation rarely if ever passes during an election year; it will always take a back seat to fund-raising and simply isn’t worth the political risk. Watch them carefully, stay informed, and watch another Obama promise go down the drain.

Boycott the propaganda and seek out the truth yourself.
The recent actions of the White House to discredit Fox News serve only to further reveal the childish behavior of this arrogant president. Obama senior advisor David Axelrod, the guy who sent us spam emails about the glories of Obamacare, has called on other media outlets not to treat Fox as a legitimate news organization. Rahm Emanuel, White House Chief of Staff and well known blowhard, warned media outlets “not to follow Fox.” The White House refuses to even make officials available to Fox for comment, yet Mr. Obama plays nice with CNN and David Letterman? This Administration is incapable of engaging in open debate, their ‘I’m taking my ball and going home’ attitude should send up a big red flag their employer - you. This socialist regime has been extremely successful in controlling the media; except for Bloggers, Talk Radio, and that pesky Fox News, they have their propaganda machine running at full speed. Here’s the bottom line; Fox News is willing to report the stories the Regime doesn’t want covered. Fox News covered the 9-12 Rally – the others dismissed it. Fox News covered the Van Jones story – the others ignored it. Fox news covered the ACORN story – the others buried it. Fox News reports all the news, not just what The Messiah and his ministry of misinformation clears for release. The actions of this Administration, scary as they may be, are actually encouraging. These foolish attempts to bury the truth, and punish those who refuse to submit, clearly indicate how desperate this Administration is to hide its mounting failures. Despite their promises, job loses continue to soar. Despite their promises, they have failed to support our troops in Afghanistan. Despite their promises, our enemies are playing us for fools. The dollar is sinking, the economy is failing, our debts are mounting; but Obama tells us everything is getting better! This blatantly Un-American attempt to control the media is awakening thousands from their slumber and bringing them to the streets to oppose this socialist regime. The Tea Party protests, held across the country this weekend, attacked the Mainstream Media for the first time directly. Protestors gathered in front of TV Stations and Newspaper offices to draw attention to the Media’s submission and participation in this threat to freedom. The Main Stream Media has betrayed the American people; they have shirked their responsibilities in order to find favor with a corrupt self-serving Administration. It’s time to tell Charlie Gibson, Katie Couric, and the rest of the Red Army, to hit the bricks. Boycott the propaganda and seek out the truth yourself. Oh, and by the way, ratings for Fox News are up 20% this year.

Duty, Honor, Courage and other things Obama knows nothing about.
If you know someone in the military, please raise your hand. I think most of us know someone who is either currently serving or has served in Iraq or Afghanistan. In the light of recent events, do you think the Commander-N-Chief is doing his job? Do you think it’s acceptable for Mr. Obama to wait weeks or even months to decide whether to send support to our brave soldiers? If your son or daughter was fighting against the Taliban in the deserts of Afghanistan, would you support Obama’s decision to shoot hoops instead of making a decision? Do you think a quest for the Olympics is more critical than supporting our troops in harms way? Do you think Mr. Obama is a greater military strategist than US & NATO Commander General McChrystal? Reports coming out of Washington now indicate that Mr. Obama is interested only in keeping Al Qaeda ‘at bay’ instead of KILLING THEM! Are you kidding me? Does anyone else think this policy sounds like Vietnam? People, our troops represent the finest of America, are their lives not worth more than this? This coward is playing politics with the lives of American soldiers. This self important egomaniac is more concerned with appeasing terrorists than fulfilling his duty of protecting the country. Mr. Obama, you are a disgrace to the Office of President. You are a traitor, and no one who truly loves this country can support your actions. No sane person can support your self serving agenda and your obvious distain for our military. You have now been awarded the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for your actions as the greatest appeaser of all time. You cower before tyrants while abandoning our allies. You bow before dictators while ignoring the needs of our troops. You stand paralyzed in the shadow of Iran and North Korea while dreaming of a Nuke free world. Congratulations on your award Mr. Obama; I hope you choke on it.

Welcome to the bizarre reality of Obama World.
I’m often called a radical, alarmist, racist, right-wing nut job, or simply a sore loser. Fine; but here’s a dose of reality for those few who still have the ability to think for themselves.
The liberals in Congress have voted to protect a tax cheat (Charlie Rangel), proposed a ‘value added tax’ while claiming otherwise, seeks to hide a massive healthcare Bill as an amendment to another Bill, and demanded a ‘public option’ in spite of what you want. Mr. Obama will be ‘shooting hoops’ tonight with his fellow commies while soldiers in Afghanistan wait for their Commander –N – Chief to send the backup they need to win. The Administration is telling us that the economy is improving, but unemployment continues to rise, the dollar has dropped 11.5% in 6 months, and the deficit has tripled. Obama has been jetting around the world, carrying a massive entourage and chumming up with talk show hosts, while lecturing the world about their carbon footprint. The Department of Homeland Security has now prevented ‘Sheriff Joe’ from going after illegal aliens, but refuse to protect the border and have proposed housing illegals in ‘converted hotels.’ Hey, here’s an idea – let’s give healthcare to freeloaders and slash benefits for those who actually paid into the system; Brilliant! Need I go on? Have you had enough, because there’s plenty more!
Where are our priorities? Where is the common sense? Oh, wait – I forgot; this is all Bush’s fault! To use a liberal slogan against the liberals – “If you aren’t outraged, you aren’t paying attention.”
If you‘ve had enough then join me and hundreds of thousands of other patriots on Nov. 7th to put these clowns on notice. ‘Pink Slip Rallies’ are being planned across the country to tell these morons to change direction or lose their jobs.
I will be unveiling new projects shortly so stay tuned.

Typical left wing ideology in all it’s glory.
What is it about the liberal mindset that gives them license to avoid responsibility for anything? The lefties, including Jesse Jackson, are attempting to blame Mr. Obama’s Olympic failure on Bush. Are you kidding me? We knew these weak-minded commies would blame Bush for everything they possibly could, but the Olympics? How long can they ride this blame Bush train? Is it really Bush’s fault that Iran is making a fool out of Obama? Is it Bush’s fault that Obama is on the wrong side in Honduras? Is it Bush’s fault that Obama caved to Russia on the missile shield? Is it Bush’s fault that the first lady looks like Patrick Ewing in a dress? How about Obama abandoning our allies and apologizing to the world for our arrogance? Wait, maybe the failed stimulus is Bush’s fault, or Global Warming, sunspots, or Oprah’s waistline? The left is like a bunch of little kids caught red-handed; “It’s not my fault!” This lack of personal responsibility is the underlying issue that continues to cause many of our nations problems and this Administration supports it 100%! Didn’t bother to pay your bills - the Dems got your back. Caught intimidating voters – left will drop the charges. Bought an Xbox instead of health insurance - Obama will get you covered.
Obama made a personal appeal for the Olympics and failed, period. Someday, maybe in the not too distant future, someone might actually hold Obama accountable for something. Wake up people; the fact is the Olympic committee just wasn’t impressed by an overweight talk show host and a smooth talking Chicago thug.

A Guest Rant by Jaylou of Chicago
Well folks...the Olympic Committee has spoken. The 2016 games are going to Rio de Janeiro. Mayor Daley, Michelle and Barack Obama, and even Orca Winfrey could not convince the Committee to bring the games to Chicago.
Surprising, Chicago politics (or controlled extortion, if you will) couldn't convince (or strong arm) the Committee into believing that Chicago was up to the task of hosting the Olympic Games. In fact, Chicago was the first city ousted from the running. Why, you ask? Well, gee Wally...let's see.
Could it be that Chicago was proposing to hold Olympic competition within walking distance of the ghetto? Could it be that the IOC didn’t want guests being robbed at gunpoint? Could it be that Chicago (albeit in direct violation of the 2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution) is a "gun free zone"? Hmm....one would think that with no one being able to own a gun there, it should be a pretty safe place; then again, maybe not. Fenger High School honor student Derrion Albert was beaten to death...yes that's right...BEATEN to death...with 2x4's, less than a week before the Olympic Committee made it's decision. Could it be that the IOC watches the news too? While President Obama was in Copenhagen pitching FOR the Olympics to be brought to Chicago, the city was making headlines with rampant gang violence.
Here's part of Mr. Obama's speech: "One of the legacies I want to see coming out of the Chicago 2016 hosting of the Games is a reminder that America at its best is open to the world," he said. "We are putting the full force of the White House and the State Department to make sure that not only is this a successful Games, but that visitors from around the world feel welcome and will come away with a sense of the incredible diversity of the American people." Really?! Invite the world here with stuff like this going on, Mr. President?! Maybe you should bring in the full force of the National Guard!
What was Obama’s response to the Derrion Albert murder? That came through White House press secretary Robert Gibbs: "Chilling." Just one word – Chilling, and that response was only after a reporter grilled him on it.
Welcome my friends to the Inner cities of America. Chicago...LA...New Orleans...Oakland (1992, Rodney King)...NY...everywhere, almost daily, there is violence. What have we become, as a people, when landing a sporting event has become more important than the taking of human life? And what have we become, as a country, when our leader is more concerned with the Olympics than the safety of our citizens? Is prancing around the world stage really more critical than dealing with Iran, Afghanistan, the economy, and unemployment, etc.? Maybe he and Michelle should start working on a "Celebrity Survivor" show instead of pretending to work for us. These people are a disgrace, simply a disgrace.

Alan Grayson – Portrait of an idiot.
Sometimes you just have to wonder, “What is wrong with these people?” You know the kind where there was obviously no life guard present in the gene pool? Unfortunately, we seem to have an excessive amount of these people residing in Congress. Allow me to introduce you to one such person, freshman Democrat in the House, Alan Grayson. This piece of human trash, and future victim of the 2010 election, has recently made some outrageous statements on the floor of the House. Grayson stated that the Republican healthcare plan is for ‘American’s to die quickly if they get sick,’ and displayed a sign to reinforce his statement. This Florida Democrat - this despicable empty headed communist, followed up later by comparing the US healthcare system to the Holocaust. Grayson has refused to apologize for his statement and said he will apologize only to those who have died because they didn’t have healthcare. Mr. Grayson, who was obviously dropped on his head as a child, has previously referred to Republicans as “knuckle dragging Neanderthals.” Republican Leaders in the House are pressing Nancy Pelosi to force Grayson to apologize, but to no one’s surprise, she has done nothing. Remember the Dems outrage over Joe Wilson calling out Obama for lying? Remember the demands for multiple apologies and resolutions of condemnation? How could Joe Wilson be so disrespectful of the Messiah? Let us not forget that Joe Wilson was correct! Are you beginning to see the double standard here? Some of you may feel I’ve been disrespectful to Mr. Grayson; well this “knuckle dragging Neanderthal” will apologize when Grayson does.

Supreme Court to hear Gun Rights Case
Liberals and other gun control advocates are trying to downplay the importance of this case, but the implications are huge. Last year the Supreme Court ruled that Washington DC’s ban on Hand Gun possession violated the 2nd Amendment. Now the same lawyer that successfully argued that case has brought a similar suit against Chicago and the nearby village of Oak Park, IL. The arguments of gun control advocates have been proven false over and over. If gun control reduces crime, why do the cities with the most restrictive gun laws have the highest levels of violent crime? Face it people, the average gun owner is a responsible citizen who commits no crime. Regardless of what these loser politicians might say, as an American citizen, you have the right to protect yourself, your family, and your property by whatever means necessary. We are told that as responsible citizens, when faced with a life threatening situation, we are supposed to hide under the bed and call 911. If you feel the same, I wish you luck. I live in a very remote area now where police response time often exceeds 30 minutes; I’ll get my gun first and call 911 second. Gun ownership is widespread in this area and violent crime is nearly non-existent; wonder why? If you break into a home here, your odds of being killed are extremely high – grandma has a 12 gauge and isn’t afraid to use it! Since the election of Mr. Obama sales of guns and ammunition have exploded to never before seen levels. Is this because people are afraid he will impose a complete gun ban? To some extent yes, but the bigger driving force is the belief that we are heading towards tyranny. This Administration and its allies in Congress haven’t been shy about their distain for the Constitution; they will not hesitate to rob you of your freedoms if you allow them. The 2nd Amendment clearly protects the rights of citizens to own firearms and the Founding Fathers were clear in their intent; an armed populous is a critical element in maintaining freedom. Gun control laws are designed to restrict your right to life and liberty and therefore clearly unconstitutional. This case before the Supreme Court is absolutely critical; hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. Fear a government that fears your guns.
